OK, Akon, stay outta trouble now son
Akon, stay outta trouble now son

Let me tell you what hurts the most
I’m a convicted felon and I can’t work
No matter where I go I try to get paid
They never give me good job ’cause they are afraid
That I’mma stick ’em up, oh yes, stick it
Rob the manager and everybody in it
That’s the everyday life of a convict
Tryin’ to make it
Why they’re saying to me...

The judges said don’t trouble nobody
Probation said don’t trouble nobody
Stay outta trouble don’t trouble nobody
And I’mma try not to trouble nobody

The judges said don’t trouble nobody
Probation said don’t trouble nobody
Stay outta trouble don’t trouble nobody
And I’mma try not to trouble nobody

Me an’ my niggas on the block all day
Blocking dimes, lookin’ out for police
’Cause this the type of shit
That we go through up in the ghetto
Just to make some cheese
The street type got me gettin’ locked up
About 5 - 6 times a week
And then I make mon’
Take it from the profit of the weed
All this just to feed my seeds (yeah)

I gotta stop this livin’
I witness one too many killings
I don’t seen the hardest nigga street
Talk to the clown that was never ever found
Sooo...

The judges said don’t trouble nobody

I’m trying to stay away from trouble everyday
But it’s hard when the things you need
Picture lookin’ at your babies in the face
When they hungry and they need to eat
I’m tryin’ not to do wrong
But they won’t let me do right
Even tho’ I done changed my life
Criminal records’ what they judging me by
That’s why...
